Damn. I hope it sells enough to keep the studio afloat.
Needed a QTE prompt before the last sentence.
This is one example of the interviews I mentioned earlier. I always knew it wasn't the type of game I usually enjoy, but I thought at least reviewers would like it.

Are you calling the Digital Trends review click bait? Or 0/10 reviews click bait? Just making sure here that you've read the review and still consider it click bait (even though it's well argued imo) or that 0/10 reviews would mean click bait.
Hopefully this makes my post clearer?
I like the 3ds, but I don't think Monster Hunter isn't fun to play on it. It's a weak (hardware wise) system and the game suffers for it, Monster Hunter 3 ultimate was fantastic and I would prefer a Monster Hunter built from the ground up for WiiU.

The reviews rightfully reflect the lack of effort towards gameplay.

Rockefellers. Skull and Bones. Microsoft. Al Qaeda. A Cabal of Bankers. The melting point of steel. What do these things have in common? Wake up sheeple, the landfill wasn't even REAL!
That's all I need to know. Preorder confirmed
Really? I remember that being posted on gaf.

This is why you create a great game to prove the "mob." wrong.
You're referring to
"Well...gameplay...that's just something we can't get around."
P4Gaming is like the Onion of video games
I mean, come on... 1's and 2's are saved for shovelware. Is that really necessary?

I told myself I shouldn't come into this thread but curiosity got the best of me. And I'm greeted by this amazing gif. Worth it.

Oh.. Now that makes sense

Well at least the artists can be proud of themselves!
That's exactly why I'm happy to see those scores. Their vision of the future of video-games just plain sucks.They should move to the movie industry where they belong.
10/10
Nice!
On the one hand, i'm not surprised. This is exactly what I was banging about for a while now (ad nauseum 
) and well, Ready at Dawn's shaky PR didn't help too. It's too bad but sometimes, even if you love something you make, you don't get first prize.
On the other, I agree with Jim. I do genuinely believe in their vision and story. I think they had some really good ideas and concepts and a smashing setting. That was setback too much by poor design choice. But it's there, and it would require like a proper sequel that fixes all that. I'm a bit sad for RAD who seem genuinely passionate about their thing but seems also maybe too much in their own bubble to acknowledge it, and the poor score will seriously hinder them for the future, as well as not working favorably towards their reputation

Driveclub is 90+ on metacritic?
Now that I think about it, Knack is lower than 70-80. Almost sure of it.
I really don't think game development works that way. It's not as if they just start working on chapter 1 and work there way trough to the end. I guess most levels are just being developped simultaneously.
Also, I agree the game ends on an open note, and some plotthreads are unresolved. But as I stated in another topic before, the main story arc of Galahad had it's conclusion at that point in a classic three act structured way. So apart from the ending lacking an 'all bets are of climax' that topples anything before, which makes it feel like it ends suddenly, I think it was pretty much planned from the get go to end the game at that point in the story. They just fail to build up to the ending like most movies do.
You can compare the story a bit with A New Hope. That one had many unresolved plot threads too (it's not like the Rebellion won, they just had one victory for once), that builded up to the sequel. But the Death Star fight did have a sense of ending. It's more that kind of climax the Order lacks, then a rounded story arc.

High production values do not exempt a product from being garbage.
I know we are in different times, but back there, bart's nightmare feeled like a beta or even an alpha sometimes, but it's unquestionable the fun the game delivered back then.
A game being super polished should be a requeriment, not a feature.

Lol no it is not.
I'm honestly ok with reviewers calling out a boring, short game with a shit story and pretty graphics for exactly what it is. Sony needs to learn not to greenlight these cinematic "barely-games".
I don't want Sony first party games propped up with good reviews just based on the fact that Sony is supposed to have good first party.
But it also sucks when shit like broken MCC gets glowing reviews.

Ahaha. Oh man.
I still own OG Assassins Creed. Sadly, it's likely it won't be the same for The Order as I'll have used it for Bloodborne money in the future. I can't wait to pick it up tomorrow.
it's a parody site. Look at the articles on that site.
Not that Ready at Dawn didn't say plenty of legitimate shaky stuff about focusing on The Order's cinematic nature, but nothing that extreme.
Bravo, Sir.
That is brilliant, bravo!

As much as Gamepur can haha. It's still the opinion of a single individual. Doesn't hold much weight except in these console wars.
The problems is that demos seem to be a thing of the past which is such a shame because they were great for finding out if the core gameplay would be something you'd like.

Anyone can post things on gaf, you just did.
There was a similar real interview where they said that story came first, it's exaggerating from there.

Not gonna lie. While I'm still getting the game, these reviews are pretty disheartening. Hope RAD does better on the next one, assuming they get a chance.

Game that got mediocre impressions from a developer with no track record turns out to not be very good, despite what we were told by a small group of vocal fanatics and GAF "insiders." Shocking.
